Agree 100% . This is what I was trying to indicate to the OP, who has bought a Nikon D3300, (which will be a great camera), but I worry it may be a bit of a steep learning curve compared to a good P&S camera like yours.buzyg wrote: ↑Sun May 21, 2017 12:49 am Modern point and shoot cameras are just amazing. I bought a Nicon Coolpix P610 in 2015 and it simply does every thing from macro to photographing Jupiter and it's moons the other evening. It's also light & fairly compact. I carry it on all my walks on the moors. Great cameras, just no need to spend more unless you have a specific need.
The current model is the Coolpix P900, I would definately be checking it out if I where looking for a camera today.

There are times I don't feel comfortable with lugging the DSLR and lenses around, and something like the Coolpix would be a great addition to the camera 'arsenal' for those occasions.
